Ok I have had a squeaking rear breakes so I got new pads rotors and installed and they still squeak why is this could it be that metal tab that goes above the pads??

did you grease em? not in between the pads and the rotors but everywhere else?

depends on the pads you put in also. when i put in my ebc green stuff pads they squeaked because there is metal pieces in them then after a month they stoped and its been fine ever since.

mine were squeaking like crazy. I bought some high temp brake grease and lubed up the side where the pistons in the caliper push against the pad. Also lube up the pins. Havent squeaked since

I didn't grease I will try this I also used autozone pads. Will the squeaks cause any performance problems with the brakes???

oem pads work best with oem rotors

could my rotors be bad They don't have any scratches?

I use the crc disc brake quiet on the back of the pads and I always clean out the caliper guide pins with brake cleaner and relube them with synthetic brake caliper grease. These cars can often have sticky caliper guide pins. Dirt and brake dust gets inside the holes and the grease wears off as time goes on. Those are the only things you really should grease.

I also bought a brake hardware kit for 18 bucks which came with new caliper pin boots, anti rattle clips, and brakepad shims. It's probably worth it if your car hasn't had that done in a long time, if at all.

Had same problem, mine was my caliper slider pins were worn, both front and back ones. Take a good look at those. Mine had alittle wear but i used a set of calipers to measure and they were .005" undersize. That will cause the caliper to oscillate under brakeing, especially if this happen when under light braking.
